Biography

The cleaners-dyers report explicitly names Abe Potash, formerly employed at Municipal Dye Works, 265 Belmont Avenue, Brooklyn. It reports his actual arrest during the recent general strike and grand-jury indictment for felonious assault, with trial announced for June 19, 1933. This first name and occupation distinguish him from fur-union leader Irving Potash. No exact custody endpoints or final disposition are established. Daily Worker, June 14, 1933, original PDF page 3.
